OUR C1rY,s CHRISTMAS TRADE

OUR ClTY'S
 Our City Trade appears to be booming and blooming. All the forecasts or the coming festive season are presented with taste and we may add temptation. The store windows are decorated with more than the usual elaboration of Christmas tide. and we are pleased to add that there is already an amount of patronage to Ill the coffers and gladden. the hearts of our enterprising store-keepers. Of course the DEMOCRAT advertisers stand easily first in the matter of decorative display. We give this evening another installment of the DEMOCRAT Business Directory:
 JAMES couGHLAN, 63 BALDWIN STREET, Makes bold bid for public patronage in the provision line, and not unwarrant- ably points out his place as the place for purchase of the Christmas Dinner. His published list of prices for Beef and Nut ton and Poultry; from the lordly srloin to the humber haunch; from the season able Turkey to the always welcome Duck, may challenge competition with any other claimant for public custom.
 M F. CONNOLLY,
 | ASKS the peTUlISAC 4uCooAOA' o J VI want a Merry Christmas 2" and supposing the answer to be in the affirmative, points out how at his establishment, 1O4 South Main street, the want may be effectively supplied. He has added Poultry to his Preserves, and to his always extensive supply of Groceries, many articles in Fruit, etc., suitable to the season. The Boston Branch Grocery is evidently place for the exercise of household economy Tomorrow every purchaser to the amount of 25 cents and upwards will be presented with prize by MT Connolly.
 T1ERNEY's REAL ESTATE OFFICE
 Reminds us that in the midst of enjoyment business transactions will go on, and the proprietor has in his time of professions action as Real Estate Broker, won from buyer and seller alike, a confidence tAa accounts for the growing patronage he re ceives. A list of property on the marke to be disposed of by Tierney proves al this.
 } THE MATTHEWS & WILLARD co, of No 70 North Elm street, do not presen any great Christmas attractions, proper but they have on hand articles of utilit. that will be found handy at Christmas tim
 or any time. The advertisement of tn Company in auother column indicates tn things of every day use which may b found at their establishment,

STREET GRADING.
Difficulty in Obtaining Bids for
the Work.


the Work.
The matter of advertising for bids
for work to be done on the streets in
the matter of grading, in other papers
than those in this city is being serious
ly considered by the City Council. On
Monday last there were about twenty
streets on which bids were invited
and of these only three received atten-
tion at the hands of the contractors.
This is only a fair sample of the way
in which the advertisements have been
answered for some time past, and as
the winter is coming on it is thought
necessary to advertise in San Francisco
papers and ask contractors to come
here and do the work. 1t was also
suggested, that the Board of Public
Works invite contractors to appear be-
fore it and to try and induce them to
bid. 1t was agreed that something
should be done and that matters
should not be allowed to run along as
has been the case. There is a good
deal of grading already listed to be
done and from indications there will
be considerable more before very long.
The list OF streets to be graded is fast
enlarging in size and an effort will be
made to reduce it to something like
what it should be. Why don't some
of our contractors make bid on these
streets. There is work to be done and
there should be people to do it.
